Chapter 90 From now on, the soul is a very valuable thing...
The soul is a very valuable thing.
Especially for a god who possesses such authority.
Suibian was not sure exactly what powers Li'an possessed, but it was very sure that soul must be one of them.
It was also due to Zhong Liu, the definition of freedom was too liberal.
——For Zhong, complete death itself is a kind of freedom.
"You're not done yet, are you?" The black cat raised its voice, and now it really looked like a cat that was stopped while walking on the road.
Most sword cultivators are stubborn. Jin Aqing followed behind it without saying a word, walking down the stairs of heaven, earth and moonlight step by step.
After a while, she said, "Then tell me what the price is."
It's even more annoying. If this staircase hadn't been pulled out by Li'an, and its energy level wasn't too high, it wouldn't have had to move slowly on its legs, and would have disappeared from the shadows long ago.
It vaguely foresees a portion of fate: "You go up."
"If you really want to know the answer, just keep going up."
Jin Aqing slowly stopped and looked down. What she saw was the bottomless chasm and her companions below it.
Looking up, there are colorful and rolling glass-like stairs, which seem to be wrapped in clouds and mist, and seem not to exist at all, but just an illusion.
...What will happen if we go up?
In the blink of an eye, the black cat ran a long way along the stairs, and only a small black silhouette could be seen in the mist.
Jin Aqing didn't think too much about it. She just turned around instinctively and walked back step by step the way she came.
When walking on the stairs that seem to have no fixed shape, you can see something spreading out from under your feet like ripples.
The Cloud Ladder is definitely not something that can be climbed by those in the Golden Core Stage, but it seems to be different.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is just that the natural chasm is guarding the bottom of the cloud ladder, and the natural chasm is full of difficulties and cannot be crossed easily, so people with low cultivation level are not even qualified to get close to the cloud ladder.
Jin Aqing could feel it, so it must be a merit.
It has nothing to do with your cultivation level. All you need to climb the ladder is merit.
Climb up the stairs.
The light flowing clouds were blown by the wind into long and slender tails, which gently wrapped around her sword.
Think less and worry less, and your mind will be clear.
Jin Aqing looked up.
A line of scorching red appeared from the end of the sea of clouds.

The sun is about to rise.
Li An closed the window and watched the dim light in the sky gradually swallow up the stars.
I can’t delay any longer. I’ll finish this mural today and take a break later, which is a good opportunity to give myself a holiday.
Outside the corridor, a cat's purr was heard.
It ran and jumped happily, slipped into the studio quickly, and lay down beside the mural, with a look that said "Praise me quickly".
The black cat blinked and said, "There should be a returning customer coming soon. Can you go over there for a while?"
Li An pointed ruthlessly at the wall clock, smiled slightly, and said kindly, "Look at what time it is now?"
The black cat shrank its neck.
Li An sighed softly.
"One last time."

——It’s the sun.
In the early morning hours, sunlight tinged with mist penetrated the clouds, bringing a slight chill.
Jin Aqing faced the sunlight and stepped accurately on each invisible step.
A vague sense of familiarity lingered in her heart, making her feel as if she had met him somewhere before.
...I don't know what's on top either.
Normally, you should be able to see the fairyland when you reach the top.
But the black cat meant something completely different.
Never mind...it's not very important. After all, she wasn't seeking to ascend to heaven.
Jin Aqing just wanted to know where that inexplicable feeling of palpitations came from.
She was sure that if she didn't figure everything out today, she would never have another chance from now on.
It feels like I have lost something very important, and it is hanging heavily on my heart, making it impossible to let go.
No matter what is at the end of the ladder, she will go up today.
Jin Aqing walked up step by step.
The morning sun climbed up the sky little by little.
Between the clouds, the white mist was dyed red, as if every cloud was looking at her.
The rising sun's rays, dotted with a touch of golden light, fell again.
It's like golden jade falling from the sky.
For a moment, Jin Aqing also seemed to have turned into a golden being, with wings made of clouds and mist, and his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
The world beneath her feet was gradually forgotten by her, just like the human world was slowly leaving her and completely abandoning her.
...I don’t know if I can see my senior brothers and sisters and master again.
…It doesn’t matter if I can’t see it, she thought.
The consensus among sword practitioners and the understanding between fellow disciples make them often accept the departure of their companions.
This decisiveness of the sword cultivators once made many cultivators unable to understand. It cannot be said that they had no feelings, but it seemed that they always gave the most emotions to their natal swords.
Kendo is said to be the closest school of thought to the Way of Ruthlessness.
The higher Jin Aqing climbed, the calmer he became.
Some messy things surfaced instead, like tiny bubbles popping up.
...She hasn't chosen a sect yet; it's unknown whether Zhong Liu can pay off the sword loan; Senior Sister Dingxiang is too murderous and has suffered the most injuries, and it's unknown when she will recover; it's also unknown when Senior Brother Zhang will be able to finish writing his graduation report, and I hope he won't be beaten back by the master again this time.
...I don't know when the master will come to climb the ladder, but even if he comes, he won't be able to find his closed disciple.
Jin Aqing raised her eyes.
The red light like molten gold fell into his eyes, and in a trance, his pupils were slowly dyed the same color.
She raised the sword in her hand and pointed it at the clouds.
High above the clouds, the Qilin and the Azure Dragon once looked down upon all living beings.
All living beings are like ants.
Jin Aqing knew clearly that every step she took now was built up layer by layer with her former bones.
She knew very well that every memory from the past took her through death.
She is not climbing a ladder.
The ladder goes from bottom to top, and she walks from the future to the present.
Jin Aqing stepped on the corpses of countless Aqings——
up.
And then up.

Li An held her chin up and looked at the light from outside that was projected into the house, which methodically formed a golden and red sundial.
A crisp bell rang outside the door.
Li An was neither hurried nor hurried, and finished her work only after she had finished pinching the last bit of fine halo.
She looked at the blank sky on the clay mural and slowly smiled.
——Her sun is here.
The morning light fell on the black fur, and then two pointed ears were revealed.
The black cat raised its head.
It was actually calmer than it had imagined.
——The Godhead has fully awakened.
